Kyle Davidson and The Blackhawks are attempting to Acquire $3.6M Player
In order to keep pushing the Montreal Canadiens rebuild forward, Kent Hughes seems to be moving another piece.
Despite the NHL's current cap crunch, Joel Armia's cap hit of $3.4 Million may discourage suitors.
Hughes will likely have to add assets in the form of a pick or prospect to move the winger.

Among the teams that could afford to eat this terrible contract is the Chicago Blackhawks, who can leverage their cap space to acquire assets. There is currently $11,955,292.00 in cap space available to the Blackhawks, so the move would be easily accommodated.
As long as the Hawks are able to get a sweetener, they will be able to keep their rebuild moving forward smoothly.
As a veteran presence for the young players, Armia would be a great solution for the team's thin bottom-six.
